Chapter 619

Auteur: Warm Cocoa
The next morning, Stellar set out early.

Fortunately, Stephen seemed to be caught up with something on his end that day and didn’t come looking for her.

By ten o’clock, she arrived at the art exhibit.

Zayden was already waiting at the entrance.

He had clearly dressed with care—charcoal gray blazer, layered over a sleek silver silk shirt that highlighted his sharp features and lean frame.

He was elegant and effortlessly refined.

When he saw Stellar walking toward him in a flowing blue dress, graceful and radiant, his eyes lit up with admiration.

"You look beautiful today," he said softly.

"Thanks," Stellar replied with an easy smile. "You clean up pretty well yourself."

Zayden held out his arm with a subtle, gentlemanly tilt of his head.

"Shall we?"

Stellar glanced toward the grand hall ahead, clearly full of prominent works and, no doubt, prominent guests.

She gave him the courtesy and slipped her arm through his.

They stepped inside together.

Soft lighting poured from the domed cei

    "Zay, you don’t have to be that obedient. Your life is just as precious. You should treasure it." Stellar said gently."But Senior, you once gave me a second chance at life. If it’s for you, I’d give anything without hesitation," Zayden replied with complete sincerity.Growing up, he’d always been the one left out—his autism made others distance themselves.In those dark days, he had nearly shut himself off completely, ready to collapse inward and vanish.But Stellar had appeared like a beacon, pulling him out of the abyss and into the light.To him, she wasn’t just a mentor. She was his salvation. He had no intention of ever letting this light go.Stellar felt a deeper pang of helplessness.Before she could find the right words to respond, Stephen, who’d remained quiet until now, spoke calmly and with unwavering confidence. "Stellar once saved my life too. I’ve already decided to repay her the only way that’s worthy—by staying by her side. So, Mr. Moore, your devotion won’t be neces

    Inside the restaurant, the three of them sat by the window in a quiet corner, each occupying one side of the table. The atmosphere was undeniably awkward.Stellar, caught in the middle, was clearly the most uncomfortable.Just as the silence was starting to become unbearable, a cheerful voice broke through."Senior! It really is you."Zayden strode over from across the room and, without the slightest hesitation, wedged himself between the two men to sit beside Stellar. His eyes lit up with excitement as he asked, "Did you get the portraits I sent you? Did your grandparents like them?"Stellar hadn’t expected to run into him here of all places, especially not in this kind of tense situation.The mention of the portraits immediately reminded her of how strangely he had acted the last time they spoke. The thought left her feeling slightly conflicted."I did get them. My grandparents really loved them. They said your work was excellent, and it meant a lot to them."She recalled the warmt

    Stephen’s fingers gently brushed aside the strands of hair on her forehead, then slowly traced downward, pausing softly over the dark circles beneath her eyes.The rough pad of his fingertip sent a faint shiver through her body.But in his eyes, there was only tenderness and concern. His voice came low and hoarse. "I came to see just how much you’re willing to sacrifice your health for this project."Stellar’s heart gave a sharp flutter. She tried to argue, "It’s not as bad as you make it sound. I’ve just been a little busy lately...""Busy enough to skip sleep and meals?" Stephen’s tone carried a helpless edge. "When you hit a wall, why didn’t you ask me? Don’t you trust me enough to lean on me?"She could hear the faint disappointment behind his words and quickly reached for his hand, softening her voice in a playful plea. "Of course I trust you. I just got too wrapped up in thinking through it and forgot to ask. Don’t be mad, okay? I know I was wrong."Her eyes shimmered as she

    Everyone stared at her in disbelief."Are you serious?" Henry pressed her again, clearly skeptical.Autumn looked worried as well. "Stellar, don’t be impulsive.""I'm not being impulsive. I mean every word," Stellar said calmly, her gaze sharp and resolute. "As someone from Capital City, I value collaboration, but never at the cost of our dignity."Yes, technology is important. But if we bow under pressure, we’ll only teach them how to keep pushing. “Every step back lowers our standards. Today it's one concession—tomorrow it'll be ten. In the end, we’ll lose our voice at the table, and they’ll never take us seriously again."Real cooperation is built on equality and mutual benefit, not one-sided compromise. If we don’t hold the core technology ourselves, we’ll always be at someone else’s mercy."Her voice wasn’t loud, but it cut through the silence like a blade—so powerful that it stirred shame in many of those present.Compared to Stellar, it seemed they all lacked the pride they sh

    "Just wait. It won’t be long before she realizes she was only daydreaming. When that happens, she’ll come crawling back to beg you. Be patient." The boss’ tone dripped with disdain.Linus suddenly saw things clearly.Of course!How could a woman from Capital City possibly pull off this kind of advanced technology?He couldn’t believe he’d actually been momentarily intimidated by her presence just now.Now, all he needed to do was sit back and wait for her regret.…Although Stellar hadn’t been the least bit intimidated while dealing with the foreign executives, she still returned to the lab to report the outcome of the negotiation to Autumn.She had gone to meet the partner out of trust, but what she brought back was this result. She thought Autumn might be disappointed or even scold her for being too impulsive.Unexpectedly, there wasn’t a trace of displeasure on Autumn’s face. Instead, she patted Stellar’s shoulder and said, "Well done, Stellar. You did great. You should never comp

    Stellar’s eyelid twitchedShe knew the real reason was finally about to come out.She kept her tone patient. “Go ahead.”"Miss Rivers, here’s the thing," Linus began. "Our company is part of Norton city’s top aerospace institute. The technology we’ve developed is miles ahead of your country’s—we’ve already stepped into the next generation."He leaned forward slightly, voice full of conviction."Talent like yours is exactly what we need. So, I’m offering you a place on our team. The salary package is double what you’d get here, and you’d receive a twenty percent profit share for any successful development. “In Norton city, your career would skyrocket. You’d be standing at the very peak of this industry."He laid it all out—every incentive, every advantage.With terms like that, he was sure she’d bite.But to his shock, she didn’t even pause. Her face remained expressionless as she answered flatly,"Sorry. I’m not interested.""What?" Linus blinked, genuinely unsure he heard her right.
